Nacharavam

about

arunagiri is desperate and confused. the world is a hard place to live in,
especially for a lonely ascetic, living off alms and nothing but devotion & the
desire to learn. he has only a few resources- his intellect, his language, his
mortal body and his devotion to muruga. he feels like nature is closing in on him…
the moon that is blemished by previous battles, shines on him the history of
difficulty in the form of ‘venom’. the seashells, which symbolize the endless
ocean, and clouds that symbolize the endless sky, create a deafening din that
drives him insane. he confesses to muruga ‘lacking any devotion or clarity of
thought, I come to you, with nothing but desire’.
